The Falls of Felou - A Journey from the Senegal to the Niger,
EDITORS COMMENTS
captured in this 1875 photograph, presents a breathtaking view of the Felou Falls, located in present-day Mali, West Africa. The image is taken from Henry Walter Bates' "Illustrated Travels," published by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin in London during the late 19th century. Bates, a British explorer and naturalist, documented his expedition through Africa in this book, providing readers with vivid descriptions and visual representations of the diverse landscapes and geographical features he encountered. This particular photograph captures the majesty of the Felou Falls, a series of rapids and waterfalls on the Senegal River, which marks the border between Senegal and Mali. The Falls of Felou have been a significant landmark for centuries, serving as a natural barrier and a vital source of water for the local populations. The photograph showcases the powerful and dynamic force of the water as it cascades down the rocks, creating a stunning and awe-inspiring vista. In the foreground of the image, we see Lieutenant Mace, a British military officer, adding a sense of scale and context to the scene. The black-and-white photograph, with its crisp lines and contrast, offers a glimpse into the rich history and geography of West Africa during the 1870s. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the exploratory spirit of the 19th century and the importance of documenting the natural wonders of the world. The Falls of Felou continue to be an important cultural and historical site, attracting tourists and scholars alike. This photograph, taken over a century ago, remains a testament to the enduring allure of Africa's natural beauty and the power of exploration and documentation.
